We're doing roto so I'll probably be worse than you. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, as a lifelong Cubs fan who bleeds Cubbie blue, I would love it if Cuban bought the Cubs. The Tribune Company only bought it to make money. They really don't care how the team plays on the field no matter what they say. Having Cuban own the team would mean the owner would actually care about the team and would invest accordingly, be it with money or interest. It can only be a good thing.Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02827851943831518318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-36564981705505421452007-02-28T15:41:00.000-05:002007-02-28T15:41:00.000-05:00Come on Dan, join our league.If you win you can ru...Come on Dan, join our league.<BR/>If you win you can rub it in <BR/>for the whole winter. <BR/><BR/>I want to read that book, guess I will have to order it.Patriots64http://www.blogger.com/profile/15787034853382760764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-31342334702497919032007-02-28T15:21:00.000-05:002007-02-28T15:21:00.000-05:00Dan,First, Florida because your own school (NW) is...Dan,<BR/><BR/>First, Florida because your own school (NW) isn't good and now back on the Cubs wagon because Cuban may be the new owner.

There's no way I'm reading 364 pages about some other guy's team.
